According to Dr. Wolfgang Heiner, an ex-Minister of Justice, who spoke at the Congress for Free Speech held yesterday, the Swastika, which is the Nazi emblem, is not a Christian emblem. The speaker demonstrated that the Swastika had been found on Jewish tomb-stones dating from pre-Christian times.

After a few hours, the Congress was dissolved by the police without any reason being given.
